Volume 1, Chapter 56: Devising a Strategy Against the Water Bandits

"Husband, do you feel a little better now?"

"Whether I'm cold or not, I don't know, but husband thinks you're probably going to sweat."

"And we'll have to add Qing'er to sweat together."

"Ha ha..."

Liu Feng could not wait any longer. With a hearty laugh, he scooped up Mu Wanqing in his arms and walked toward the inner room, not forgetting to call out for Mu Wanqing—who was busy doing chores—to hurry up.

Thus,

this night, there probably wouldn't even be time to eat.

It was destined to be another sleepless night, an evening overflowing with boundless springtime romance.

Such a blissful life was surely something every man dreamed of.

True to form, after countless rounds of surrender through the night, things finally quieted down.

The two sisters had completely lost the ability to resist.

We all walked to the front and shone our lights around, only to discover a rope ladder on the bridge, connecting somewhere above down to the bridge deck. However, when our flashlight beams hit that rope ladder, it seemed to shimmer with a silver light, which looked more like the reflection of pure white snow.

"Even if it's not a coincidence, it could still be explained away somehow. But I've never seen any records linking this Ancient Dian Kingdom with the Jin State; at most, I've only seen connections with the Chu State. But if even the Chu State gets dragged into this, it'll probably be hard to make any sense of it!" I said.

Hearing this, my heart settled somewhat, and I thanked her. It wasn't just because of this piece of good news she brought, but also because of her consistent care and protection ever since she was entrusted with my well-being. Otherwise, I would have been split neatly in two during the very first drill, let alone catching Xiao Chen's eye later on and being entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Think! I had to think. I began forcing myself to ponder this matter, but right then and there, my mind was an absolute mess. I had no idea what I ought to do, because I truly had no clue what was actually going on.

That exaggerated speed left the Tyrant with no time to dodge. Its condensed flame shield was sliced apart by the first sword stroke in the blink of an eye, and its left arm was directly severed.

Coulson was eating a hamburger with great gusto, sticking close to him the entire time. Verbally, he claimed it was to prevent him from being unfamiliar with the terrain, but mostly he was worried he might go around taking things indiscriminately.

Walking on and on like this, when we looked back, we could no longer see the light of the purple crystal behind us, and complete darkness had returned before us. Yet, without a doubt, we were still on the bridge. I thought to myself, could it be that we were really destined to spend the rest of our lives on this bridge?

I immediately issued an order to the front line: the entire squad was to run toward the woodland mansion to figure out the Evoker's evolutionary stage and gauge the strength of the fourth map, so as to avoid running into an ambush when launching the attack.

The moment he appeared, a terrifying imperial might pressed down so heavily that the surrounding space fractured into a massive web of cracks, causing the robes of the three emperors to flap wildly without any wind, even emitting snapping sounds.

Endless spear Qi completely enveloped the giant lizard's figure, and within a space spanning dozens of meters, the air was filled with an intensely scorching wave of heat.

The patrolling guards knew he was an honored guest, so they proactively greeted him as they passed by, without even asking what he was up to.

To flex like that, right here and right now, somehow left three young ladies and a driver utterly speechless, their four gazes of intense admiration locked firmly onto him.

"Software download successful!" Just a few seconds later, a response came through immediately. Following that, the phone in Ning Ning's pocket indeed vibrated.

The prisoners on the ground could no longer care about the pain; they shouted at the top of their lungs, desperately trying to distance themselves from the matter. Hearing this, the charging prisoners and government soldiers found this utterly intolerable, and they all swarmed forward in a single surge.

Seeing that she remained silent, the young man did not stand on ceremony. He directly pulled out a chair and sat down, his eyes constantly sizing up Gong Jingsi from top to bottom.

Qingyang of the White Board, Uncle Tian's nephew, ranking second among the Four King-Pins. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration from East China University and currently managed most of the businesses under Uncle Tian's name.

This was no longer a clan warfare battlefield flowing with rivers of blood and littered with corpses, nor was it a human city territory on the verge of war, and certainly not atop that towering, cold South Point Chariot.

His expression was slightly stern as he tapped rhythmically against the documents, pondering where the problem might lie.

"Are we trapped inside this grand formation right now and unable to get out?" Qian Li had also figured out his current predicament alongside Nie Wei.

He believed that with such a warning, Ye Zihao would surely be too terrified to dare go through with the bet, because in this wager, he was guaranteed to win.

Yun Yi was startled, but he also understood that this must have been done by that giant python! Even though it was at the bottom of the lake and unable to move an inch, its heart had always remained tethered to Ye Feng.

The police officer felt his scalp tingle from the verbal onslaught and let out a helpless sigh. Mainly, he felt the volume was simply too outrageous; his eardrums might need to file a hazard pay claim for consolation.

In fact, the Century was so massive, carrying over three thousand tourists, that naturally there was more than one restaurant on board.

One had to bear in mind that when he had originally pursued Shen Mengjing, she had given him the cold shoulder and paid him hardly any attention.

Although the direction of Cen Huaqing's gaze did indeed correspond to the area where Wei Zeguang's bedroom was located, this villa was truly enormous, and from where they stood to the bedroom was at least a few dozen meters away, with numerous other rooms scattered throughout.

In the car, Ye Feng still had some doubts. How could Qiongying Mo go out to eat during such a sensitive period? Weren't she afraid of being secretly photographed or even mobbed by people?

Within a three-kilometer radius around Sangjing Building—meaning a circular area with a radius of three thousand meters—the effective surface area approached twenty-seven square kilometers. Within this range, according to statistical reports on Yuzhou City's urban construction in recent years, there was an average of one hundred surveillance cameras per square meter.

Should he silently watch the evolution of all living beings? Or should he transform into an ordinary person, accompanying Zhanghua Yueqing and the others to experience life in the new world? Or perhaps plunge into a deep sleep just as he had initially intended?

Li Weiqi noticed Tan Yonglin's gaze, looked over toward Wild Fox as well, and then gave an imperceptible shake of his head, his eyes filled with gravity.
